Student Email Policy

The Office of Student Affairs continuously seeks ways to improve the lines of communication between the various College of Medicine offices/departments, including our own, and
medical students. Upon acceptance to the College of Medicine each student is assigned an email account which enables the College of Medicine to send official electronic correspondence.
Each student is responsible for checking and maintaining his/her email account as it is where he/she will receive official College communications.

The format of an official University email address is: NETID@uthsc.edu. Students can forward email from their official University email account to any email account
he/she chooses. Please note, however, that if a student elects to forward his/her e-mail and that process fails, the student will still be responsible for reading and responding to any
official information sent to their official University email account.
